It seems to me Montana is a great splash of grandeur. The scale is huge but not overpowering. The land is rich with grass and color, and the mountains are the kind I would create if mountains were ever put on my agenda.

More quotes by John Steinbeck
Only let a man say that he will do something and a whole mechanism goes to work to stop him.
John Steinbeck
If you are in love-that's a good thing-that's about the best thing that can happen to anyone.
John Steinbeck
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
John Steinbeck
A journey is a person in itself no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip a trip takes us.
John Steinbeck
And you know what it is? San Francisco a golden handcuff with the key thrown away.
John Steinbeck
It is the nature of a person as he/she grows older to protest against change, particularly changes for the better.
John Steinbeck
There's nothing in the world like that first taste of beer.
John Steinbeck
Niagara Falls is very nice. I'm very glad I saw it, because from now on if I am asked whether I have seen Niagara Falls I can say yes, and be telling the truth for once.
John Steinbeck
I know this... a man got to do what he got to do.
John Steinbeck
I have lost all sense of home, having moved about so much. It means to me now--only that place where the books are kept.
John Steinbeck
I have taken as much as six years to prepare a book for writing. There is such a delirium of effort in the production of a book it's like childbirth. And, like childbirth, one forgets the pains immediately so that when you come to write another one you dare to take it up again. Some precious anesthesia sees you through.
John Steinbeck
Maybe-- maybe love makes you suspicious and doubting. Is it true that when you love a woman you are never sure-- never sure of her because you aren't sure of yourself?
John Steinbeck
I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why.
John Steinbeck
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
John Steinbeck
Again it might have been the American tendency in travel. One goes, not so much to see but to tell afterward.
John Steinbeck
Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
John Steinbeck
American cities are like badger holes, ringed with trash--all of them--surrounded by piles of wrecked and rusting automobiles, and almost smothered in rubbish. Everything we use comes in boxes, cartons, bins, the so-called packaging we love so much. The mountain of things we throw away are much greater than the things we use.
John Steinbeck
Oh, the strawberries don't taste as they used to and the thighs of women have lost their clutch!
John Steinbeck
There's a responsibility in being a person. It's more than just taking up space where air would be.
John Steinbeck
We have usurped many of the powers we once ascribed to God.
